One of the bravest things we can do is work to understand our own stories. While we are a product of our family, ancestors, environment, and society, we don't have to stay stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. We all have the ability to change and live a more balanced, meaningful life. You might be feeling stuck juggling school/work, other's expectations, and conflicts with family, or you might be struggling to find meaning as you go through life transitions, immigration, work and relations...

If teletherapy works for you, we can connect by phone or video. If it doesn't, we can meet in my office. Either way, I'll be here when you're ready. Text me at 415-841-3338 to set u...
